The tides are high and fast.

The tides are shifting in unsettling, rattling, and surprising ways.

These intensities are here to shake things up, to no longer keep things under the surface. All is bursting wide open, undeniably present. Here. Now. 

Can we see it all?

Can we be with it all? 

All the radiant lushness and tender beauty.

All the perpetuating pain and hurtful and seemingly growing divides.

Staying alert, present, and open about diverse perspectives is critical.

Step wholeheartedly into your field of influence.

Act from your inner sense of responsibility.

Embrace what you can’t change on your own.

Reach out and help each other to see, sense, and feel.
It is a great act of care to be with and drop through the heightened velocity to the stillness on the bottom of the sea, together.

We have been preparing for this time. 

We knew it deep down, yet being met with the energies and voltages can shake our core.

Where are you gifting your thoughts to?
What are you wondering or worrying about?
How are you balancing your sense of presence and grounding?
Are you receptive and permeable while simultaneously fierce and owning your clarity?

It’s a wild ride, yet the accelerating velocity can help us take a leap of faith. 

Do you dare to jump into ever more connection, authenticity, and presence with all there is?

Your presence and sense of compassionate responsibility in your field of influence can shift the tides.
Are you aware of your radiance? 

Are you aware of your impact, for example, just by giving a particular thought more attention than another?

Let’s inhale and exhale, as what we are in can only be metabolized together, one breath, one act of kindness at a time.

Systemic Constellations Intro course Nov. 1st

Exploring the inner and outer of societal change

We are offering one more intro course this year! Starting November 1st, join this intro-level workshop on systemic constellations to explore what your own transformation may teach you about the societal change context you are dedicated.

A practice to deepen our sensing capacities leading to wiser and more aligned actions

Systemic Constellations is a powerful tool for navigating complexity and helping teams move through intense dynamics with greater ease, efficiency and alignment. The collective practice creates a model of a particular system in order to reveal and transform its hidden patterns. We learn to use our bodies and felt senses as instruments of perception, tapping into and widening our innate human capacities and ways of knowing.

Each webinar will be 2 hours with a 10-minute break. We encourage you to save 30 mins for integration time after the course.

The training series includes: 

• Intro to Systemic Constellations: 

  • power of representation

  • importance of intention and guiding question

  • influence of place

  • aspects of time across generations

  • inner and outer dynamics

• Individual and collective practices

• Homework between sessions 

• Practice space opportunities

Winter 2023 Dates: Wednesdays, November 1, 8, 15, 22

Time: 9 am - 11:00 am PST (San Francisco), 6 pm- 8:00 pm CET (Brussels)

Tending to seeds of the future present in me

After a systemic constellation earlier this year during the intro course, Amalia’s life took a turn for the better. Time became a friend versus something she was racing and with a new spaciousness, she was able to sense into new work opportunities that were more aligned for her. She is deepening into her purpose and what that looks and feels like. She brings the calling question “What are the seeds of the future present in me that are wanting tending?” Elements may include Amalia, time (a familiar friend) Regenerative work, purpose, belonging, home and skills/knowledge.

Join us next Thursday for practice.

Next potential expression as a community of practice

Collective Presencing is a collective dialogue practice that has been ongoing for almost a decade. Its community of practice and its way of being and co-creating together has reached a place of transition and sensing into it’s next phase. 

They ask “How do we move towards and express more of the potential of the “Circle of Creation” as described in the book of Collective Presencing?” And “What wants to emerge from here?”

New Practice Space

How are you navigating complexity?

Generative inquiry and systems sensing practice space 

How are you navigating complexity?  

We’ve heard your requests for a practice space (or reprisal of the original practice space) where the format can adapt and emerge from what is needed in the group. It is an opportunity for exploratory and emergent topics as well as more play and experiments within sensing and inquiry practices. Navigating complexity requires us to be ready with our tools and work creatively with what emerges.  Bring your whole self – your ideas, desires, and current questions into this space along with your tensions and everyday realities. It is a space to reflect upon, process, and integrate personal or organizational dynamics.

Generative Inquiry and systems sensing: As many of the spaces here, it’s a chance to come as you are, check-in together, and see what emerges. We will use sensing practices and may adapt familiar approaches, methods, and forms including incorporating dialogue or play through movement, theater aspects or visuals. We may then explore common themes together or opt to focus on several mini cases or inquiries for different individuals (20-30 min each). In sum, this space invites 

Let’s find a time together.

Interested? Vote for a time and day that could work best for you for this monthly space. Have any input to contribute? Let’s connect.

• Mondays or Tuesday at 9 or 11 am PST

• Wednesday 9 or 11 am PST

• Vote here or send us an email with a time that works for you.
